Sony Ericsson G900C manual System functions, Profiles

File sharing

By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile, the phone enables the use of a computer to manage content files that reside in the phone’s file system. Most computer Bluetooth applications provide an explorer-like user interface for the file transfer service. The content in the Games and more folder is not exposed in the file transfer server. Opening one of the folders will show a list of files related to that folder, such as, images in the Pictures folder. Using the computer application the user can now: retrieve files from phone to computer, delete files from the phone and transfer files from the computer to the phone using the normal drag and drop mechanisms provided by the computer.

File browsing

By using the Client role of the File Transfer Profile, the phone enables the user to access file systems of other devices, that also support the Server role of the same profile. After pairing the phone with the other device, the user can connect to the other device by selecting it in the ‘My devices’ list on the Bluetooth menu and selecting the browse option that should be available on the left selection key. If the browse option does not appear the user can select the Service option to update the phone’s knowledge that file browsing is possible to use with the device. When the phone is connected to the file server, the user can browse the shared folders and retrieve files listed in different folders. Files are transferred to the file server device using the normal Send/via Bluetooth option.

Media viewing

The phone can send images and sounds to a media viewer device, such as, the MMW-100 TV adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice phone camera pictures for family and friends. The phone can connect to a Bluetooth device that can receive images, the image can be transferred to the remote screen and displayed.

The phone keypad is configured for control of a certain computer application through a special type of HID configuration file consisting of an XML file for the keypad and an image for the display. HID configuration files can be downloaded into the phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.

Users can even modify the files themselves on their computers. A few configuration files, pre-loaded in the phone, enable the user to navigate on a computer desktop and control presentations and Media players.
